"Put
ten Bizarre Magicians together, and more than likely you will hear ten
opinions of what constitutes Bizarre Magick. Highly subjective.
However, all will agree it's storytelling."

"The
majority of magicians and lay people, have a misconception of the word
bizarre. They equate it with soul selling, demons, witches,
ghosties and ghasties and things that go bump in the night other than ones lover. Compounding the problem, contributing to the onus
on the word are some of the bizarre performers who are never offstage.
They ever play the 'mysterious' role, dress the part: all in
black, wearing silver pentagrams, skull rings, all the 'weird' stage
trappings that should have been left backstage after the performance."

"Bizarre
Magick is substantive storytelling magic, illustrated with one or more
effects, the intent of which is to make a specific meaningful point by
awakening a disquieting, at times perhaps even fearful, emotion in the
participant to punctuate the message being imparted. In other
words -- you're far more apt to remember what makes you uncomfortable,
uneasy or frightened than you are
something that simply makes you pleasantly entertained. However, that
said, the Prime Directive of Magic is that it must entertain; even
in Bizarre Magick that strives to be thought provoking -- it must also
entertain."
